It is said that Yeni’s sister Promise tried to stop the fight while they were all still inside the house after hearing about it.
The state says that Mgobhozi went outside and got an iron garden rake. When he came back inside, he hit Yeni over the head with the rake, which made her run outside.
Mgobhozi is said to have chased her and tried to hit her again with the rake when they got outside, but she used her arm to block the blow and ran away.
It is said that Mgobhozi then got a knife and ran after her. When he caught up to her, he stabbed her in the back of the neck and then cut her throat.
Mgobhozi has pleaded not guilty, so he has been locked up in jail since January 2022, when he was denied bail.
The victim impact statement of Promise, who saw her sister get killed, is expected to be read out in arguments.
Mgobhozi didn’t have a job, so the sisters let him live with them. Before the murder, he had been living there for about two months.
They have a 2-year-old child together. His mother was killed when he was 2 years old.
